Karen's Kitchen: Home of the World's Famous Hot Wiener Omelet


Local Diner Delivers!
Karen's Kitchen is located on 347 Waterman Ave in Smithfield, Rhode Island. The phone number is 401-233-0440. The restaurant is a quaint and quiet restaurant. This is a small mom and pop diner that serves breakfast and lunch 7 days a week. The store is open 5a to 1p on most days. It is a great local hang out that takes care in the small detail. The restaurant has a friendly, relaxed atmosphere and the charm only builds with the mismatch furniture. This dated "dive" style atmosphere is impeccably clean with throwback portions. The pancakes are enormous and the selection of choices is great. If they don't have it on the menu, they can make if for you. The thick bacon and Irish sausages are top quality. I have not been brave enough to try the hot wiener omelet although I hear its very good.

My husband and I go every other weekend and sometimes we go with the kids and sometimes we get up at the crack of dawn and go just ourselves. The last time I went, I had a banana and walnut pancake with bacon and a cup of tea. I brought a book and relaxed away from the stresses of a crazy week. Nobody rushed me and I enjoyed a long relaxing breakfast.

The pricing is reasonable and the food is a la carte. Be advised it is a cash only restaurant. A breakfast for my husband and I was around $15. A family of 7 with 4 hungry men cost us around $35 dollars including tip. It is a great way to spend a leisurely Saturday or Sunday morning. I'm sure if you venture to the Smithfield area, you'll be one of the regulars that visit this place.
